But some bacteria produce toxins that survive moderate heating 😢
Edit: “While the botulinum spores can survive in boiling water, the toxin is heat-labile, meaning that it can be destroyed at high temperatures. Heating food to a typical cooking temperature of 176°F (80°C) for 30 minutes or 212°F (100°C) for 10 minutes before consumption can greatly reduce the risk of foodborne illness (WHO 2000).”
Just nuke it in the microwave until it turns into molten lava.
Now all the bacteria is dead and you can enjoy some ancient Egyptian nachos.
(Don’t actually do this)

Hence why you keep nuking until the molten lava stage is reached.
(but again, don’t do this. I’m joking)
that’s why we have a Mikey
